Goblin-Engineered Hand Cannon is a quest item.
Use it to target the manned boats in the quest area. Fire!

The quest area mark is a little bit misleading

To complete the quest you need to sink few [npc=137887]s.
Use provided quest item [item=160405].
Cannon has long fire range, so you dont need to get close and pull random mobs.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

A Change in DirectionLevel 35-60
Whispers of dissent have been spreading through the harbor, <name>. You can hear the grumblings of pirates who do not want to give up their freedom! Rumor holds that some of the other authority figures have goals that align with mine. I forged some letters in the captain's hand. Deliver them...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

I'm the Captain NowLevel 35-60
Alright <name>... It's time to take the mutiny to the captain. Rhenik sits in his cave, readying himself to sell our souls to the Ashvanes! Defeat him, and I will allow you to use my port as though it were your own.
